A whole chicken is roasted with butter, black pepper, and aromatic herbs like parsley, thyme, and rosemary. The dish is infused with the bright, citrusy flavor of lemon and accompanied by roasted potatoes. The result is a tender, juicy chicken with a crispy, golden-brown skin and a fragrant, herbaceous aroma that fills the kitchen as it cooks.

The roasted chicken with lemon, herbs, and garlic pairs well with a crisp white wine like Greco, which has bright acidity and citrus notes to complement the dish. The wine's medium body and subtle minerality will not overpower the delicate flavors of the chicken. Alternatively, a light-bodied Pinot Noir with red fruit notes can also work, as it has enough acidity to cut through the richness of the butter and stand up to the herbs.
